Chapter 526 Transfiguration
"Brother Joan, did you cast the 'Magic Rope Technique' just now? I've heard people talk about it before, but only after seeing it with my own eyes, I know that this spell is more magical than the legends!"
Casio grabbed the rope excitedly and quickly climbed up.
Shrek looked up to see Casio disappear at the end of the rope, his chubby face was full of surprise.
At this moment, a neigh came from behind him, which brought him back to his senses, and he realized that he and Joan's horse were still tied to the stump near the camp.
Shrek hurriedly ran to the tree where the horse was tied, picked up a horse, held it high above the top, and shouted at Joan: "Little mage, what should we do with our horse, do you want to take it with you?"
Joan turned around and saw the fat man lifted the horse and its saddle as easily as if he were picking up a pet dog, and the horse he lifted into the air neighed and struggled in fright.
The scene was both funny and shocking, which left him speechless for a moment.
Hearing the neighing of the horse, Casio poked his head out from the half-plane window, and waved at Shrek repeatedly.
"My lord! A decent man cannot sleep in the same room as an animal, it's not a stable!"
"You just leave those two poor horses. Anyway, the horses are used to sleeping standing up, with half-opened eyes, and are very alert. If there is any trouble, the horses will wake up in time and neigh to remind us to be careful. .”
"Oh! That's right!"
The naive ogre king lowered his arms, put the frightened horse back to its place, stroked the mane, and calmed the animal down. After that, he returned to Joan on his own, grabbed the rope with both hands, twisted his plump buttocks, and climbed up with great difficulty.
Joan checked the camp carefully, and after confirming that no important items were left behind, he chanted the spell to extinguish the campfire, picked up the "campfire rosary", climbed along the rope into the demiplane created by the "magic rope technique", and finally put the rope into the Demiplane, leaving no trace.
Since leaving Layton Port a month ago, Joanne has been traveling north alone. Every night, he will use the "magic rope technique" to create a secret, safe and unaffected campsite for himself. This has become a habit. often.
It was the first time for Clark, Shrek, and Casio to enter the "half-plane", and they felt fresh and interesting everywhere, and they were so excited that they didn't feel sleepy at all.
Joan didn't participate in their chat, and took out a portable folding table and chair from the storage bag, placed it in front of the invisible window, sat in front of the table, used a "light technique" to light the candlestick, and spread out under the candlelight. Open the thick hardcover spell book, and start the routine review of homework every night.
Joan has mastered all the spells transcribed in the book, and he listened to Clark and his chat while reviewing.
"Ogre" and "Advanced Ogre" actually belong to a subspecies of the giant race. When Shrek and Casio were chatting with Clark, they mainly used the common language of mankind, and occasionally a few giants popped up family words.
Qiao An has always been very interested in linguistics, knowing that proficiency in a language is the "ladder" to understand the cultural heritage of the corresponding race, so in daily life, he always pays attention to looking for opportunities to learn the language of other races.
In addition to his mother tongue, Joan is also proficient in "Elf language (Quenya)", "Fairy language (Sylvan language)" and "Dwarf language".
"Dragon language" and "Giant language" can barely handle daily conversations, but they are not proficient.
Among them, the giant language, he first learned it from Gray, but unfortunately the gray bag beast has a poor brain and can only speak a few simple giant language.
Now the three companions around Joan are all from the giant race, and of course they are proficient in their own mother tongue. It was rare to have such a good learning opportunity, and Joan would naturally not miss it. Whenever he heard a word in the Giant language that he didn't understand, he put down the book, and humbly asked the three of Clark for advice, keeping it in mind.
Joan was learning the language of giants while reviewing spells. He finished tonight's homework within half an hour, and suddenly remembered the bottle of magic potion Shrek gave him, so he took it out and analyzed it.
I heard from Casio before that the potion can temporarily give the user a power comparable to that of an ogre. Joan was guessing what the principle of the potion is. The result of the analysis revealed the answer and brought him a little surprise at the same time. .
It turns out that the witch Fiona injected the 4-ring "Transfiguration" into this bottle of potion. No wonder it can increase the strength attribute of the user to the level of an ogre!
The 4th ring "Transfiguration" is an all-round upgraded version of the 2nd ring "Transfiguration". The enhancements are mainly reflected in three aspects.
First of all, "transfiguration" can usually only be blessed on the caster himself, while "transfiguration" can be applied to other willing creatures.
Secondly, if the caster does not have any special bloodlines, the "transfiguration" can only become a "humanoid".
"Transfiguration" has been significantly improved in this regard. The types of creatures that can be transformed are no longer limited to humanoids, but also include strange monsters, animals, dragons, goblins, giants, magical beasts, humanoid monsters, ooze monsters, Plants and insects... Basically, common life species in the main material world can be transformed!
It is conceivable that the magic power consumed to become a dwarf is not at the same level as that of a dragon.
The reason why the 4th-level "Transfiguration" has undergone a qualitative change compared with the 2nd-level "Transfiguration" is mainly because the upper limit of the magic power level of the 4th-level spell slots is much higher than that of the 2nd-level spell slots. The energy level means that "transfiguration" can play more tricks.
Compared with "Transfiguration", the third advantage of "Transfiguration" is that the transformed creatures are no longer just similar in appearance, but also completely changed in physiological structure and biological race.
For example, Qiao An often uses the "transformation technique" to become an Eagleman, but his physical attributes are the same before and after transformation, and his race is still "human", not "Eagleman" - the real Eagleman, it is not difficult Recognize the subtle differences between the two.
If Joan uses the "transformation technique" to become a Yingman, the appearance looks the same as the "transformation technique", but the inside is completely different, and his three physical attributes of strength, agility and physique will also become those of the Yingman family. Average.
In the transformed state, Joan is no longer a human teenager, but a genuine eagle race.
What's even more frightening is that in this deformed state, there is no reproductive isolation between him and the real Jotunheim eagle...
It is precisely because "Transfiguration" is so powerful that the potion enchanted with this spell can give the user a power comparable to that of an ogre.
In fact, the raw material Fiona used to refine the potion, the ogre plasma, was the material used to cast the "Transfiguration" spell.
In the link of "casting materials", the 4th level "Transfiguration" completely inherited the characteristics of the 2nd level "Transfiguration".
If the caster wants to become a certain creature, he must prepare a part of the creature's body tissue as the material for casting the spell in advance. There is no strict restriction on which part of the body it is.
If it is not for refining potions, blood does not have to be used. Creature hair, skin, nails, etc. can be used to perform "transfiguration".
ps: The 4th ring "Transformation" in this book adopts the dnd3r rule.
This version of "Transfiguration" is really too strong. It has its own system, and the transformation resources available for use include almost the entire set of "Monster Illustrated Book". The way of using it depends entirely on the player's imagination. The game quickly crashes.
The later PF and dnd5E rules both brutally nerfed Polymorph to make it more reasonable, but also less interesting.
After all, novels are different from games, and the criteria for choosing balance are also different. Coupled with the author's personal preference, I finally chose this strongest version of Transfiguration, not only because it is stronger, but more importantly, it is more interesting.
